HANDBOOK  OF  THE 
EXHIBIT 

The  exhibit  of  the  American  Library 
Association  is  intended  to  illustrate  in  a 
general  way  the  work  that  American  li- 
braries are  doing  today,  rather  than  to 
show  the  process  of  evolution  or  the  his- 
tory of  the  library  movement  since  its 
great  acceleration  in  1876. 

Libraries  in  all  parts  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada  have  contributed  to 
the  exhibit,  which  has  been  arranged 
to  present  all  phases  of  the  work,  and 
grouped  according  to  the  classes  of  li- 
braries represented,  as  indicated  on  the 
plan.

Section  I.  Library  of  Congress. 

This  exhibit  has  been  brought  together  and  arranged  by  the  Library  of 
Congress.  It  consists  of  the  following: 

1.  Publications  of  the  Library  from  1897  to  date. 

These  publications  are  not  for  distribution.  They  can  be 
examined  on  application  to  the  assistant  in  charge  of  the  exhibit. 

2.  Catalog  of  works  in  the  Library  relating  to  Bibliography,  Library 

Economy,  Printing  and  Bookbinding.  I.  Dictionary  catalog. 
II.  Systematic  catalog. 

These  catalogs  are  designed  to  show  the  resources  of  the  Library 
of  Congress  on  the  subjects  named  and  to  illustrate  the  use  of  its 
printed  catalog  cards  in  dictionary  and  systematic  catalogs.  The 
cards  here  exhibited  represent  only  books  which  are  classified  in 
Bibliography  and  Library  Science  (Class  Z).  Books  classed  in 
other  subjects,  which  relate  in  part  to  Bibliography  and  Library 
Science,  are  not  represented.  Title  entries  have  been  included  in  the 
dictionary  catalog  only  in  the  case  of  cards  printed  since  January, 
1912,  as  previous  to  that  date  the  title  entry  was  not  indicated  on 
the  cards. 

3.  Collection  of  the  blanks  and  forms  used  in  the  Library  of  Congress. 

Classified  according  to  the  Divisions  in  which  the  blanks  and 
forms  are  used.

especially  interested  can  obtain  a copy  on  application  to  the  assistant 
in  charge  of  the  exhibit. 

Section  II.  College,  School,  Reference  and  Special  libraries. 

a . College  and  University  libraries. 

These  libraries  have  made  valuable  contributions  to  the  bibli- 
ographical material  of  the  country,  and  contain  some  of  the  finest 
special  collections  in  the  New  World,  such  as:  The  Child  collection 


of  folklore  and  ballads  at  Harvard,  the  Icelandic  collection  at  Cor- 
nell, the  Scharf  collection  on  the  Civil  War  at  Johns  Hopkins,  the 
Colwell  collection  of  Bibles  at  Chicago  University,  the  Hopkins  col- 
lection on  Railroads  at  Leland  Stanford  Junior  University,  etc. 

They  are  primarily  active  working  libraries  for  the  use  of  the 
faculty,  graduates  and  students,  and  are  usually  accessible  to  others 
engaged  in  research. 

In  a number  of  colleges  and  universities,  lectures  on  bibliography 
and  the  use  of  the  library  are  given  by  the  librarian  or  a member 
of  the  library  staff,  e.  g.y  Cornell  University,  Oberlin  College. 

b.  School  libraries. 

High  schools  are,  as  a rule,  supplied  with  libraries,  but  as  yet 
few  of  them  have  trained  librarians  who  give  their  whole  time  to 
administration.  In  many  schools  a teacher  fills  the  office  of  librarian. 
The  unsatisfactoriness  of  this  arrangement  is  beginning  to  be  felt, 
and  a very  active  movement  is  on  foot  to  establish  the  office  of  high- 
school  librarian  and  make  the  library  a more  vital  factor  in  the 
school. 

In  the  most  progressive  schools,  the  librarian  gives  instruction 
to  the  students  in  the  use  of  the  library.  In  the  State  of  New 
Jersey,  a recent  law  has  put  the  high-school  libraries  largely  under 
the  State  Library  Commission. 

The  grade  schools  (elementary  and  intermediate)  very  often 
have  class-room  libraries,  partly  of  books  for  supplementary  reading, 
partly  of  books  for  recreational  reading.  These  belong,  in  some 
cases,  to  the  schools,  in  others,  to  the  public  library,  which  changes 
the  selection  at  intervals. 

c.  Reference  libraries. 

The  reference  library  independent  of  any  other  institution, 
such  as  a college  or  university,  is  not  common  in  the  United  States. 
Such  libraries  are  almost  without  exception  endowed  and  under 
semi-private  control.  There  is  usually  a public  library  in  the  same 
town,  with  which  the  reference  library  co-operates,  doing  for  it  the 
service  of  a reference  department.  The  reference  department  of  the 
New  York  Public  Library,  while  a part  of  that  library,  is  separately 
supported  and  by  private  funds,  while  equally  open  to  the  public 
with  the  circulation  department. 

The  Grosvenor  Library,  Buffalo,  New  York,  the  Watkinson 
Library,  Hartford,  Connecticut,  and  the  Hackley  Library,  Muske- 
gon, Michigan,  are  examples  of  this  type  of  library. 

d.  Special  libraries. 

Within  the  last  ten  years,  the  special  library,  i.  e.t  the  library 
confined  to  a special  subject  or  group  of  subjects,  provided  by  a firm 
or  corporation,  for  the  use  of  its  members  or  employees,  has  be- 
come prominent.  Mills,  factories,  laboratories,  manufactories,  and 
commercial  houses,  have  begun  to  establish  collections  of  this  kind 
and  the  movement  is  extending  rapidly.  A Special  Library  Associa- 


5 


tion  has  been  formed,  with  an  organ  called  Special  Libraries , issued 
monthly.  These  libraries  are  still  in  the  experimental  stage,  and  no 
common  methods  of  administration  have  yet  been  agreed  upon — 
indeed,  in  view  of  their  purely  business  use  and  their  private  im- 
portance, there  may  never  be  much  uniformity.  Their  usefulness, 
however,  has  been  fully  demonstrated  in  many  cases.  Good  examples 
of  such  libraries  are  those  of  Stone  & Webster  and  the  Arthur  D. 
Little  Co.,  Boston,  Massachusetts. 

Section  III.  Public  Libraries. 

The  public  library  of  the  United  States  has  been  so  fully 
described  and  explained  in  various  languages  that  it  is  unnecessary 
here  to  enlarge  upon  its  scope  and  use.  In  1908  there  were  2,298 
public  libraries  in  the  country,  of  more  than  5,000  volumes  each, 
which  exist  largely  for  the  purpose  of  circulating  books,  though 
nearly  all  have  books  kept  for  consultation  and  are  at  the  service  of 
scholars  and  of  students  of  all  grades.  The  following  diagram 
shows  the  usual  gradual  development  of  the  public  library  from  a 
simple  circulating  collection.

In  many  public  libraries  the  reference  collection  differentiates 
into  collections  of  periodicals,  of  government  documents,  of  books 
in  applied  science,  in  art,  etc.  The  open  shelf-room,  now  almost 
universal,  contains  books  that  circulate,  on  shelves  open  to  the 
public,  so  that  the  choice  of  books  may  be  made  from  a large 
number  and  through  examination  of  the  book  itself  rather  than 
through  the  catalog. 

For  books  and  articles  on  the  work  of  the  public  library,  see 
the  bibliography  appended  to  this  handbook. 

Section  IV.  Children’s  room. 

The  security  of  a democracy  lies  in  the  intelligence  of  its  people, 
hence  the  necessity,  not  only  of  public  schools  but  of  public  libraries. 
The  book  must  be  early  recognized  as  a necessity,  and  resort  to  it 
must  be  begun  at  an  early  age  in  the  life  of  the  future  citizen. 
Inasmuch  as  books  exist  in  the  homes  of  but  few  families  and  the 
school  libraries  are  extremely  limited  in  size,  the  public  library  for 
some  twenty  years  past  has  been  providing  separate  rooms,  separate 
collections,  and  special  administration  for  children.  A large  part  of 
the  education  of  those  who  are  in  part,  at  least,  self-educated  is 
gained  in  the  children’s  room,  in  which  books  on  all  subjects  and 
many  books  of  educational  value  are  shelved,  as  well  as  the  fairy 
tale  and  story-book.  Perhaps  no  part  of  the  public  library  con- 
tributes so  much  to  general  culture  as  this  department,  since  the 
ideas  and  knowledge  absorbed  in  childhood  make  the  deepest  im- 
pression, are  most  fully  assimilated,  and  are  sought  without  com- 
plexity of  motive,  for  the  joy  of  knowing.  Picture  bulletins,  posters, 
story-telling  and  annotated  lists  are  all  used  to  lead  children 
to  good  and  interesting  books,  and  the  children’s  rooms  are  made 
attractive  with  furniture  of  suitable  size,  pictures,  casts,  growing 
plants,  etc. 

Some  library  schools  offer  special  training  for  candidates  who 
have  had  the  general  training  and  who  wish  to  become  children’s 
librarians. 

Section  V.  Extension  work  with  children. 

Extension  work  covers  all  work  carried  on  outside  of  the  library 
building.  Some  work  with  the  schools  is  of  this  character,  and  the 
term  covers  as  well  club-work  with  boys  and  girls,  home-libraries, 
and  the  telling  of  stories  or  reading  aloud  in  schools,  settlements,  and 
other  places,  by  the  children’s  librarians.  Work  has  also  been  done 
in  some  places  with  messenger-boys,  who  must  be  on  call  and  cannot 
come  to  the  library  and  who  spend  their  hours  of  enforced  waiting 
in  reading  at  the  telegraph  office  the  books  provided  by  the  library, 
and  with  others  similarly  situated. 

Section  VI.  Library  architecture. 

"■This  exhibit  is  chiefly  one  of  plans  and  elevations,  with  a model 
of  a city  branch  library. 

The  tendency  in  the  small  library  is  at  present  away  from  the 


7 


stack-room  and  the  closed  shelf,  toward  the  open-shelf  collection 
arranged  around  the  walls,  a consequence  of  the  more  liberal  attitude 
toward  the  public  adopted  within  the  last  fifteen  years.  The  larger 
the  library,  however,  the  more  necessary  becomes  the  separation  into 
open  and  closed-shelf  collections  and  the  stack-room  for  storage. 

Single-room  buildings  have  been  erected,  requiring  fewer  per- 
sons to  supervise,  in  small  places  or  as  branches  in  cities.  The 
general  tendency,  however,  is  still  to  plan  for  at  least  three  rooms, 
one  for  the  circulating  books,  one  for  reference  work  and  one  for  the 
children  and  their  books,  although  the  divisions  between  the  rooms 
may  be  marked  by  low  rather  than  high  partitions.  The  auditorium 
is  an  adjunct  in  many  towns,  and  is  put  to  constant  use,  bringing 
many  to  the  library  and  leading  those  to  the  use  of  it  who*  might 
otherwise  have  ignored  it.  When  lectures  are  given,  the  library 
almost  invariably  prints  or  posts  a list  of  what  it  contains  on  the 
subject  of  each  lecture. 

The  central  library  and  branch  system  is  in  use  in  most  cities, 
with  general  administration  from  the  centre,  and  a measure  of  local 
autonomy  at  the  branch.  The  planning  of  a branch  building  depends 
largely  upon  the  value  of  land,  the  shape  and  size  of  the  lot,  and  the 
nature  of  the  physical  environment.  A branch  building  which  can- 
not extend  horizontally  must  extend  vertically,  hence  the  three 
or  four-story  buildings  in  some  cities. 

Section  VII.  Commissions,  Associations,  Clubs,  Periodicals. 

a.  Commissions. 

Thirty-six  of  the  forty-eight  States  have  library  commissions, 
with  members  appointed  by  the  Governor  and  serving  without 
salary,  except  in  the  case  of  the  secretary  and  the  organizer,  i.  e.t 
the  officer  who  helps  to  organize  or  reorganize  any  library  in  the 
State,  on  call. 

In  addition  to  their  organizing  work,  the  commissions  help  to 
arouse  interest  in  communities  needing  libraries,  give  advice,  instruc- 
tion, and  in  some  States  financial  aid,  provide  systems  of  traveling 
libraries  for  use  by  study-clubs,  by  individuals,  and  by  isolated 
communities,  conduct  summer  courses  in  library  management  and 
technique  for  untrained  librarians  already  holding  positions,  act  as 
clearing-houses  for  duplicate  books  and  periodicals,  and  publish 
bulletins  of  news  concerning  the  libraries  of  the  State.  In  several 
States,  the  libraries  of  State  institutions  have  been  put  under  the 
library  commission,  and  in  one  State  the  libraries  of  high  schools 
are  under  commission  jurisdiction. 

b.  Associations. 

1.  National.  The  American  Library  Association  was  founded 
in  1876  and  has  held  annual  meetings  since  that  date  in  various  parts 
of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  In  the  years  1893  and  1904,  the 
years  of  the  Columbian  and  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  expositions,  the 
meeting  took  the  form  of  an  international  congress  and  was  held 
in  Chicago  and  in  St.  Louis,  the  exposition  cities.  The  Association 

8 


publishes  Proceedings,  a Handbook,  a Bulletin,  a monthly  Book-list 
for  small  libraries,  and  numerous  books  and  pamphlets  on  pro- 
fessional subjects. 

2.  State.  Thirty-seven  States  have  library  associations,  meeting 
once  a year,  in  different  parts  of  the  State,  the  sessions  ranging  in 
length  from  one  day  to  a week.  In  addition  to  general  papers,  there 
are  reports  of  working  committees  and  round  tables  to  discuss 
informally  specific  branches  of  the  work.  At  these  meetings  the 
social  side  is  emphasized  and  much  is  acquired  through  personal 
conversation  and  discussion  by  those  attending. 

c.  Clubs. 

Clubs  are  more  local  than  associations,  and  meet  oftener, 
usually  five  or  six  times  a year,  in  one  city  and  its  suburbs  or  in  a 
group  of  towns  near  together.  Of  late,  there  has  been  a tendency 
to  make  the  club  a working  body,  like  the  State  association,  instead 
of  a passive  body  for  the  purpose  only  of  listening  to  papers.  The 
New  York  Library  Club,  e.  g.,  now  has  twelve  committees  reporting. 

d . Periodicals. 

The  following  conspectus  shows  the  history  of  library  periodicals  in  the 
United  States: 

Title  Place  of  Publication  Dates 

Library  Journal  (mo.) New  York  . .1876  to  date 

Library  Notes Boston 1886  to  1898 

Public  Libraries  (mo.)1 Chicago  . . . .1896  to  date 

Bulletin  of  Bibliography  (qtly.)  . Boston April,  1897  to  date 

Library  Work  (qtly.)2 Minneapolis.  April,  1906  to  October,  1911 

Special  Libraries  (mo.) Indianapolis.  1910 

1 Not  published  during  August  and  September.  2 Merged  with  Library  Journal  in  1912. 

Section  VIII.  Library  Schools. 

The  first  library  school  was  established  at  Columbia  College, 
New  York  City,  in  January,  1887,  and  since  that  time  the  value 
of  instruction  in  library  work  has  been  increasingly  recognized. 
Twelve  library  schools  have  been  established  in  different  sections 
of  the  country  for  instruction  in  cataloguing,  classification,  admini- 
stration, bibliography,  reference  work,  book  selection,  and  the 
general  principles  underlying  library  work.  Students  from  Australia, 
Belgium,  Canada,  Denmark,  Finland,  Germany,  Holland,  Norway, 
Sweden,  etc.,  have  taken  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to  receive 
systematic  training  in  the  American  library  schools,  and  graduates 
in  active  service  are  distributed  throughout  the  United  States  and 
hold  positions  in  other  countries,  notably  Canada,  Norway,  Sweden, 
and  Denmark. 

Lists  of  these  schools  may  be  found  appended  to  the  chapter 
on  Training  for  Librarianship,*  published  by  the  Publishing  Board 
of  the  American  Library  Association. 

* Preprint  from  a Library  Manual  to  be  published  by  the  American  Library  Association.
